Samsung is expected to hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event in July and the countdown is on for the announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. The foldable lineup was speculated to include a Fan Edition and Ultra versions of the Galaxy Z Fold. As per a latest rumour, the South Korean tech brand is also working on another foldable — Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim. It is said to go official at the end of this year and could lack support for S Pen.

As per a tweet by DSCC analyst Ross Young, Samsung is preparing a book-style foldable that's larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The purported Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim could be launched in the fourth quarter (October-December) of this year. It is likely to be priced similarly to the standard model.

The slim variant is said to have a larger display than the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and might lack S Pen support. Young points out the possibility of the Galaxy Fold 6 Slim and Galaxy Fold 6 Ultra being the same device. The S Pen requires a digitiser and Samsung might have removed this from the rumoured model to achieve the slim build.
